Members Business Meeting - July
Southwark Green Party held its second new style Members Business Meeting on Saturday 22 July in the splendid Dulwich Library. Members discussed a number of topics including:
- On-going campaigning activity and the 2024 London Assembly Elections
- Newington by-election
- Candidate selection for the General Election

Our next quarterly Business Meeting will be in October in the North East of the Borough - check the
Events page for detail on this in the coming weeks and to keep up to date with our activities.
